Stick it in a Box

Use your imagination for this exercise.

You have a new exercise to try. Sit back and exercise your brain.

This is to put depression where it belongs. We are going to stick it in a box.

Sit back and relax. Now inside your head sweep up all the depression that you can. Pick up a broom in your head, picture it, and start sweeping. Inside my head is an attic with bare floorboards and a lot of dust with a small dirty window that lets small bits of sunlight in.

When you have swept up as much as you can, open the top of a box and stick the depression in, dust and all.

Now find some wrapping paper and wrap the box up using a lot of tape. It does not matter what kind of wrapping paper you use.

Stay relaxed and wrap the box with pretty ribbon and a big bow. Yes, a bow. Now, with all your mite and muscle shove the box to the side of the room. Keep the box there and NEVER open it.

If more depression shows up, sweep it up and stick it in another box. Wrap it and put a ribbon and bow on it and shove it to the side of the room.

Now you have more room to work around your depression and can decide your next step.

Maybe you want to draw pictures. This is a good time to start, when your depression is boxed up and shoved aside.

Imagine it until you can do it in your head anytime. No one will know that you’re doing it.

They say that we only use 10% of our brain. Make room for the other 90% without the depression in the way.
